Princess Beatrice visited the special display of her wedding dress in the State Dining Room at Windsor Castle. The wedding dress of Princess Beatrice of York exhibits at Windsor Castle between the dates of 24 September and 22 November 2020. The dress, designed by the renowned British fashion designer Sir Norman Hartnell, was first worn by Queen in the 1960’s. The Princess and Edoardo Mapelli Mozzi got married on July 18, 2020 in Windsor.
Angela Kelly, personal advisor, dresser and curator to the Queen, and the British fashion designer Stewart Parvin changed Hartnell’s original design for Princess Beatrice. The full-skirted silhouette was softened to give a more contemporary, simplified shape, and the underskirt and petticoats were recreated and bound with silk tulle. Short sleeves of triple organza were added to the straps and embroidered with vintage diamantés to match the original Hartnell embroidery design.
Princess Beatrice’s wedding shoes, made by Valentino and a replica of Princess Beatrice’s bridal bouquet made from artificial flowers also exhibited at Windsor Castle. The bouquet contained trailing jasmine, pale pink and cream sweet peas, Royal Porcelina spray roses, pink O’Hara roses, pink ‘wax flower’ (Chamelaucium uncinatum) and baby pink astilbe, as well as sprigs of myrtle in keeping with royal tradition.
